Here is my short-version of NHE:
The idea is to the change your metabolism , so you burn fat as main fuel,
instead of carbohydrates.
How is this done ? for ONE INITIAL WEEK, eat LESS than 20 grams of
carbohydrates a day .
This is essintial for making the metabolic shift to fatburning!
For this first week !
no potatoes or other starhcy vegetabless, no sugar, no dried fruit, no
bananas, no fruits.
(no dairy, and no grain-products if you want to be paleo)
EAT MEAT (as your primary food) : If youre vegatarian you have to eat
tofu and cheese - but thats not paleo-foods .
EAT FAT (as your primary food) : olives(black sundried yummy),
(fat)meat , cured meat, (fat)fish, bacon , eggs, olive oil.
EAT (in moderation) : non starchy vegetables (cabbage, broccoli,spinach,
tomatoes, leek, onion , mushroom, peppers, etc.),
There is no fat limits - eat as much as you like ( in practice you wont
have an excessive appetite for fatty foods)
The same goes for meat - eat as much as you like.
After this initial week , the general NHE-plan begins:
30 - 60 grams carbohydrate /day (max 25 g / meal) - Fruit and nuts are OK
(even recommended) after the first week.
"carbload" every 3. / 4. day, only last meal of the day : eat unlimited
amount of carbohydrate , but max 20 g fat , max 20 g protein
(ex. carbload every friday and every monday ).
Eat many small meals - eat at least 4 meals a day (every 4 hours during
the day)
"DISCLAIMER :-) " this is just my shortversion interpretation of the
NHE-diet - for details see www.extique.com
(and sue Rob Faigan if you get any problems ;-)
